How do you demonstrate leadership in open education with the use of OER materials?
At the beginning of my first classes, and in my course outline I always discuss why I choose
Lyryx and the online OER. My decision is solely based on cost and benefit analysis, for the same quality of
learning and assessment materials that other sources are offering,
The Lyryx option is not only significantly cheaper, it’s also a product of a higher quality.
What contributions (editing/ creating/ maintaining materials) have you made to help advance OER?
I have worked for Lyryx reviewing the Micro and Macro test banks.
Often I have sent suggestions to Lyryx support, to improve or correct
questions and the accuracy of some questions.
How do you advocate OER?
As a senior lecturer in our department, I always make sure others know the benefit of Lyrya,
especially new instructors.
I also discuss the benefits of OER with my students, so that they seek to receive similar otiopns from
the other courses they take
How do you demonstrate social responsibility with respect to educational materials?
As an educator and a parent, my responsibilities to promote OER include advocacy for affordable
access to education and educational resources, for over 6 years as an instructor and over 10 years as a lab instructor I have always design my courses with the cost of education in mind.
Any other compelling aspects in your OER story?
My students LOVE OER, and because of that, they are enjoying learning!
